We have had a wonderful Science unit on Properties of Matter! The students read books about all different materials, we watched videos, and explored the materials with our hands. We also had such a fun time seeing all of the family boat projects that were sent in using all kinds of different materials. We even sorted the boats by material and viewed boats made in other classes! At the very end of this post you can even see a slide show of each child putting his/her boat in the water to see if it floats or sinks!

Thank you parents for making this science unit such a success!

Checking out the boats in Mrs. Ahl's class!

How are Mrs. Ahl's boats different from ours? And the same as ours?

We had so much fun learning about materials with our sink or float experiment! Check out the slide show below to see each child with his/her boat!These boats were AMAZING!
